FFNx Custom FF7/FF8 Driver / Re: [FF7PC-98/Steam] FFNx - Next generation modding platform for FF7/FF8

« on: 2022-03-15 03:35:25 »

Hello! Didn't know if putting this here or on general FF7 troubleshooting or github...

First of all, I can't thank enough this community for all the hard work put into this since Aali, Tidusguy, FinalFanTim, EQ2Alyza, Cosmos, Chrysalis, strife98, TrueOdin, unaBomb, Satsuki, Tsunamods team and countless others, truly you are the best.

I am writing this to submit a bug since 7H 2.3+ that I think is from the FFNx driver itself that would not allow me to play in any way, making a really long story short last year I had 2.2.3.522 with no problems, after that I downloaded 2.3.3.0 and the game just completely crash with H7 along with it, after some trial and error I found out that a mod "mouth replacer by Sega" was the culprit (that one is a 7H bug me thinks), but after that I couldn't play with FFNx with any render (DX9,11,12,OGL,VLK) giving me different types of problems where H7 is not affected or closes, updating with the latest canary did not help (1.10.1.156 I think).

So I wiped my PC this year, since 2017 haven't done that so I can start everything fresh, so I installed both canaries (7H 2.3.3.20 and FFNx 1.10.1.252) and no mods with no avail, DX12 just opens and leaves me with a black screen and closes, Vulkan crashes on menu or certain places (field) giving me a driver timeout (AMD Radeon drivers 22.1.1, 22.2.1 and 22.2.3), DX11 works but with heavy graphical glitches all the time, DX9 crashes, OpenGL.... actually worked fine for a bit, closed it, reopened it and now it does not work (well it sounds that it works but black screen everywhere), today I used FFNx 1.10.1.254 with same results, tried 1.10.1.0 just for fun and a few different changes but overall the same (DX9 actually kinda works, medium to moderate glitches and crashes after a few minutes).

Anyway I'm not here just to say "there, minimum amount of info, fix it", I'd like to help troubleshoot it, I just deleted the whole thing, fresh FF7 steam download to try and test anything you need, use any 7H and FFNx, give logs, videos of the issues, etc. I'm a MD so not really a programmer but I know a little thanks to my father , should I report it to github? I'll try to help and be as useful as I can be

by the way: AMD Ryzen 1700, 32GB dual channel DDR4 @2400, Gigabyte RX 470 4GB, 260GB PCIe SSD + HDD 4TB (current install), ASUS Crosshair Hero VI x370 WiFi

edit: If this belongs to another section I`ll gladly move it

7th Heaven / Re: [FF7 PC] Mod Manager - 7th Heaven (v2.2.3.522 Release)

« on: 2020-08-30 07:27:11 »

Post compatibility fix= 8 times in a row success! and not a single Easyhook error in sight even with every mod I want on which is almost everything in the catalogue xD... log uploaded, may be a good Idea to add the possible error + fix in the FAQ.

By the way, battle boxes looses transparency after winning a battle half a second before changing the screen and Sega Chief Battle Model Swap and Mouth Texture Replacer both work but it says that the version is 1.01, when it downloads it downloads version 1.00 prompting an update which it fails to download everytime.

just small bugs, thanks for your time!

« on: 2020-08-30 06:26:28 »

Hi! I have the same issue as ItsDenton! It's weird it didn't happened on 2.0 and it seems kinda random...

I uninstalled and delete everything and start from scratch, Vanilla works no probs, activating any mod gives me that error and it's really random! sometimes it works with 8 or 6 or 3 or X errors, sometimes it works with no errors, sometimes it reaches 14 and just fails, even when using just one mod as in media -> music to original, that's it and with no changes in between whatsoever......

I restarted my PC (2004 "May"update):
-ASUS CROSSHAIR Hero VI WIFI
-AMD R7 1700
-Gigabyte RX 470 4GB (up to date drivers)
-2 x 16GB RAM 2400
-ADATA 256GB M.2 SSD + SEAGATE 4TB HDD

nothing is running apart from the startup programs (AVG FREE, REALTEK HD AUDIO, Windows security, GPU drivers, Wallpaper engine, ASUS RGB Service)

The only change from 2.0 to 2.2 is OPENGL -> D3D11

Of course I remembered the mysterious fix for 1.x, did not need it on 2.0 but tried ir on 2.2 (the FF7.exe compatibility fix you mentioned) and voilá, it worked 3 times in a row, right now I'm testing it before going to sleep

Anyway the log (pre fix) is below: (Can't attach it!!!)

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qWgkD270XZt1ckDtjCgGx5h9dSilQgt1?usp=sharing

I work at a hospital so kinda busy xD but if there anything I can do to help just mention it, it just might take a while

Cheers!!!

7th Heaven / Re: 7th Heaven Updates (Coming With Catalog 3.0)

« on: 2019-06-24 06:34:17 »

Hi EQ2Alyza! I've been here since the Titeguy3 Remix times and have not been active in a long time but I've been using 7th heaven and I love it!!! Thank you and all the team so much, here's for the next update and catalogue!     

I had a few problems (1.56RC6) and didn't found a clear answer but I kept tweaking and manage to fix it, I'm going to describe the issues and how I fixed them in case someone asks:

#1: tried to install it like in the guide but the movies folder didn't worked, I always needed the disk in order to play movies (even if I selected a path in 7th heaven), so I saw the logs and find out that the path that the game seek was E:\ff7\movies (it didn't ask me for a movie path), turns out since I used the 1998 disk and not the blank one, it registered that path without asking, and even if I reinstalled I could't change it, so I just searched that path on regedit.exe (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII and another one) and changed it to the correct one, voilà it worked!

#2: After #1 it played perfectly... and then Windows 10 updated to 1903 sooo it stopped working, it just stayed in a black screen, the log indicated an internal error but no other info, so I unpached and repatched, same problem, reinstalled the game with same config and same thing, so instead of looking for the problem I reinstall the whole thing completely only saving the mods/7th heaven folder so I don't have to re-download them... well that didn't worked, the game launched but activating any mod crashed 7th heaven  with an oops error (even while deleting all the 7H files plus cache), by deleting the mods and downloading them again worked.

Hope this helps someone

Anyway.. the current cloud and barret models are very good anyway and when are going to be new tifa and others models? its kinda sad to see cloud and barret looking awesome and tifa made of a few poligons xD

Hey titeguy, 'sup?

wow, i haven't been able to connect to the website for some time and Aali and you had made so much improvements over the time!!! nice, keep it up!!!

i "clean" installed your new remix patch, great performance and stability, i just have 1 problem, the battle swirl limiter i have it "on" but damn, it doesn't work, when i get attacked, it almost instantly takes me in the battle with only the battleswirl sound.... kinda annoying...

anyway awesome work, are you planing entering new models/textures? like a new tifa or summons?

Cheers!!!

   titeguy3:
I just reinstall the 2.4 patch, but same issue as before, played in hardcore and i could actually control sephiroth, same problem, could only attack myself in the dragon battle and even in the rest of the "cloud's past" battles..... but at least items and magic worked good, so i killed it and finally continue..... plz try to find a fix to this, TNX!!!!!!!!!!!

   HelloMyNameIs:
MUSIC:
That music overlap is kinda weird, try to check the ff7music.exe configuration, on playback options there's a midi controls, check your midi device and check a box that says "mute midi on custom playback" or something, save and exit the program and then open it and try again.
If that doesn't work go to volume control (your PC defult volume program) and turn down completely the SW synth volume.

Game Lags:
Open the ff7_opengl.cfg and check if everything is ok, you can lower a little the resolution (1280x1024------>1152x864), turn off shaders, check if post processing is OFF!!!!!

Other:
Exit with ctrl+q or F4, some times it doesn't really closes, i mean, it closes but you cant open it again or stuff like that, soo just press ctrl+alt+supr to open the task manager, search for ff7.exe on processes, right click on it and select end process, and yes. you should be able to run it again without restarting your PC

Hope It Helps!!!!!

Hey titeguy, could you please see my post earlier for a quick response? thanks!

HelloMyNameIs:  try opening the ff7_opengl.cfg using notepad and adjust the x size and y size for example: i have an 1280x1024 monitor sooo....

window_size_x = 1280
window_size_y = 1024
preserve_aspect = yes
fullscreen = yes

and tweak the options you like!!....except: enable_postprocessing    make sure is off unless you have a fast PC

Hey everybody!

I hope someone could help me, im at 2nd CD with this patch but i can't get past the Hojo battle because when he gets his third form, the game always stops. Yes, it stops not freezes. Looks like the enemy is going to cast a spell or something but then when the camera is showing my crew, the game stops.
Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks in advance

ps. the log doesnt give any advice, where it goes wrong

Thanks for pointing that out!! that's a coding error on my part, I've fixed it and updated the Proud Clod patch on the main page, download it and install it using Proud Clod (available on these forums) to fix your issue. I'll release a new version of the patch asap solving this issue.

I have the same issue, I'll wait for the next patch, yet i have another 1, at the disk 1, when you are at kalm in the in, cloud starts talking about his past, i have an issue with the first fight (when sephiroth an cloud fights a dragon),... i Never kill the dragon!!!!!, the dragon attacks normally (and kills cloud normally ) but when sephiroth (or cloud) attacks, it misses, all the attacks misses, when i attack with cloud, it only give me the option of attack myself, but not the option of attack the dragon or sephiroth!!! help!!!!

Edit: ohh... and remember that the new Aali's custom drivers (o.7.3b) are now available, i have played for like 2 hours without a crash, so yeah, they pretty stable, so you can add them to the next version (the new transparency setting is better off, because of some crashes)

Thnx Titeguy3!!!

Troubleshooting / Custom graphics driver for FF7/FF8 [v.1-.7.6]

« on: 2009-12-02 20:12:53 »

the latest driver is 0.7.2b, to configurate, first open ff7config.exe and change whatever you want (sound, nvidia tnt....), like Landarma said, then, apply the custom driver .reg file, then go to ff7_opengl.cfg and open it with notepad or whatever, change the setings, example: like the resolution X=1280 Y=1024, battle swirl frame limiter: on, etc, etc. and there you go!

man i cant play the complete game... with the new version, it crashes randomly, but if i use the 0.7.1, it crashes at the sephiroth fight..... damn... think ill w8 for a new release.....

S'up??? first off all, Drfeelgud, u are right, this custom drivers are the absolute BEST!!! and to Aali, you're my freaking god!!! awesome work on this!!! this drivers put a end of my freezing problems

about the crashes, i think they are made by the saints patch, because i learned that i can change the in-game settings using winword on ff7_opengl.cfg(yea, I'm stupid, i know, anyway), i change aspect ratio to x = 1280 y = 1024, battleswirl framelimiter to on and fps counter on, knowing this and seeing post that with this thing it makes the saints row patch obsolete, i decided to put a fresh copy of ff7.exe 1.02 and just run yamp, then i run the ff7_opengl.reg and play... and no more crashes!, at least not in like 45 minutes, and just encounter a few minor bugs:

-indeed, some fonts have a transparency issue
-in chocobo races, the road sometimes disapears for miliseconds, kinda flashes
-when entering battles or going to other screens, it apears a white screen or a the last background screenshot for a millisecond

thats all i've encounter in 45 min, like i said, just minor bugs, if i discover something else or get a crash, ill make sure to post a crash.dmp and the app.log

Thanks again Aali!!!

I'm getting a crash that seems to randomly occur when a battle is initiated.  It seems to always happen right as the battle swirl effect is finishing.

hey, its me again, i got the FINAL FANTASY VII PC - NEAT COMPILATION OF PATCHES AND MODS (modes 1,2,3,4,5b,6) and had a white screan every time i played, but i found that 1 patch is the 1 cousing it... [The_SaiNt]_High_Res_FF7PC_Patcher.exe works fine.... The [The_SaiNt]_High_Res_FF7PC_1280x1024_Fix_Patcher.exe its actualy the patch that causes that white screen, now i finaly used all patches exept that 1, i was able to play final fantasy 7 with your custom driver... Very good work indeed(fixed my DX5 compatibility issue), but i've got the same problem that VonZippa, it says that something went wrong and created a crash.dmp and a crash.ff7...

« on: 2009-11-04 01:32:58 »

YAY AND DAM!!!! i found that if i use the high res patch without the "[The_SaiNt]_High_Res_FF7PC_1280x1024_Fix_Patcher.exe" the white screen disapears, (but u can se the task board), i could finaly play it, no lag problems or anything!!!!(at least the little time i've played until...)...... until it crashes..... yea, sometimes when i enter a random batlle, it says that something went wrong and creates a crash.dmp... i'll post this on the Aali custom driver forum...

P.S. since the usage of this custom grafic driver probably ended the lag and freezes, i think this is a problem with DX9.0c or nvidia grafic cards drivers, maybe downgrading those things could eliminate those problems...
